virt-v2v in general. the new version should support pointing to a
file, so no need for an ESX server. it outputs the results into the
ovirt export domain, then you can import it.
very active work (patches in gerrit) to make this available from the
GUI for 3.6.
Exactly as Itamar says.
(1) Export it to an OVA file.
(2) You will need RHEL or CentOS 7.0 (even a VM), and then to follow
the instructions here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html
(3) Run virt-v2v by following these instructions:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#output-to-rhev
$ virt-v2v -i ova /path/to/your.ova -o rhev -os server:/esd
(4) Coming soon: point and click import via the GUI.
